The Tourist Channel is a service of Richard Kenney Media, Inc. The Kenney name is synonymous with quality advertising services in the Florida tourism industry. From leading tourism magazines to brochure distribution to in-room TV, the Kenney's are respected state-wide.

Richard Kenney founded his first tourism media business, Kenney Communications, Inc. in 1982 with the release of an Orlando area magazine, Enjoy Florida Magazine, which has grown to be one of the top tourism publications in the world's number one family tourism market. Even then he knew he wanted to start an in-room TV channel in central Florida but the technology was just too expensive.

With the magazine a major success and employees in place to manage it, Richard expanded into brochure distribution in 1989. Over the next four years he took about half of the hotels in Orlando away from one of the nation's largest brochure distributors who had enjoyed a monopoly over the market for decades. They had refused to distribute his magazine in their racks for years so he built his own and performed their business even better than they had been doing it. Eventually the company was even offered the exclusive contract for magazine and brochure distribution in the service plazas on Florida's Turnpike.

By the summer of 2001 the technology costs for in-room Tv were finally coming in line. Under the flag of their new advertising firm, Richard Kenney Media, Inc., Richard and Monika Kenney began to install closed-circuit broadcast systems in Orlando and Kissimmee area hotels and succeeded where so many others had failed.
